Shiny Updates

Description

Shiny Updates is a WordPress Core Feature Plugin.

It replaces The Bleak Screen of Sadness™ (example) with a simpler and more straight forward experience when installing, updating, and deleting plugins and themes.
Progress updates for these actions don’t add a benefit, they are disruptive and confusing. Shiny Updates deals with these details behind the scenes, leaving users with clear actions and results.

Development for this plugin takes place at GitHub.
To report bugs or feature requests, please use Github issues.

If you have any themes or plugins that need updating, update them. If you don’t have any that need updating, you can edit the them and change the version number to something older. Once saved, they will show as needing an update.

Reviews

This is far and away the better installation process experience. Looks like any modern app store. Or, in this case, “Plugin Store”. Worthy of all 5 stars. Looking forward to see it merged into the core! Congratulations!

I really like this plugin. It saves a lot of time.
I do miss the ability to immediately activate a plugin once it’s installed.
But it’s definitely faster. To install new plugins.
Keep up the good work.
